Are you sure there really is nothing wrong with the igniter? You could have a simple crack in one of the wire that is causing the spark to short to the closest metal it can arch to, and the burners never get the spark.

Try this before dismantling anything. Remove the top of the stove so you can see the wires. Then wait for dark, with everything dark inside the camper, simply turn the spark starter and watch if you see a spark occurring anywhere other than at the burners or the oven. If you do, there is the crack in the wire. Simply put some electrical tape around it, or use a hot glue gun, or seal it up with liquid plastic and you'll be good to go.

Check this out first before dismantling anything. It could save you .... even that $40!!!

Just an FYI, it's very, very common for those wires to crack. Mine had extra insulation put around each wire, but there was a small gap at the knob area where the wire attached. You guess it .... That's where the spark was occurring! I found it though and simply taped it up. Never had an issue again. That was 5 years ago.
